The road ahead is straight. Even when it isn’t.

It’s a patented and groundbreaking invention, making driving more relaxed and safe. It helps you straighten out the various disturbances that may occur on the track you are driving on. The risk of repetitive strain injuries on your body are therefore dramatically reduced. It’s all about active steering. We call it Volvo Dynamic Steering. Just experience it yourself.

Perfect for the gravel pit

The new steering is especially suitable for trucks with multiple rear axles.

How it works

We have fitted an electrical motor on the steering gear. The motor is controlled – 2,000 times per second – via the truck’s electronic control units and produce torque overlay. The torque is progressive and gives more power to the steering when needed, obtaining a predetermined steering feel, independent of load and tyres. This results in a totally different driving experience – reassuringly predictable.

This is how we improved handling and driving comfort.

The Volvo Dynamic Steering is probably the greatest innovation since servo steering. But don't forget all other improvements we've made to the suspension, making Volvo FMX more like a car to handle.

It’s comfortable.

The cab suspension is more stable and the engine suspension is modified to decrease noise and vibrations. The driving comfort was good – it’s now even better.

It’s smooth.

New and re-positioned stabilisers on the rear suspension give less static rolling and prevent chassis movements from transmitting onto the cab. It doesn’t only make the driving more comfortable, it also prevents the chassis from torsional forces.

It follows you like a faithful dog.

Improved geometry of the front leaf and air suspension and a new steering gear position make the truck very course-stable.
